NeoSurgical wins medical device award

NeoSurgical, a medical device company focused on solutions for laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has won the 2014 Kinetic Vision Award recipient for its engineering of NeoClose.

This awards program recognises companies that demonstrate innovation and focuses on significant benefits and effectiveness in the industry it serves - the medical devices industry.

NeoClose is the first device to be developed to market by neoSurgical. The company says it provides an intuitive and reliable solution to assist surgeons in simply closing port site defects following laparoscopic abdominal surgery. This device aims to change the standard of care in port site closure and help to minimise port site herniation, a clinical consequence of surgery.

"We are honored to be chosen by the judges and recognized for our contribution to the surgical device industry," said Barry Russell, NeoSurgical founder and ceo. "We engineered neoClose to quickly, simply and effectively close any port or access site in the abdominal wall following laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. Our aim is to continue to pioneer world-class surgical solutions that support the medical and healthcare community."

NeoSurgical has been selected for this award by an independent panel of industry experts based on process improvements that led to gains in one or more of the following areas: innovation, productivity, effectiveness, ability to adapt to market conditions, or competitive standing/market share.

"This recognition comes at a tremendous time for NeoSurgical as we have recently appointed a highly experienced senior vp of sales and marketing, Matt Sokany, to advance our US and international commercial plans," continued Russell.
